EzineArticles- How Soon Can You See Results

Few months ago I have joined EzineArtiles after reading a lot about benefits you get from publishing your articles there. I have not published many articles there since when I made an attempt to publish my first article, it was not approved and to be honest I gave up on it. When you join EzineArticles, you have 10 initial submissions , which have to adhere to editorial guidelines. Since English is not my native language, I thought that writing 10 articles would be too big of a task for me. Nevertheless tow weeks ago I dedicded to give it another shot and submitted 10 articles. Now I am a “Platinum” member which is not a big deal, since almost anyone can become a Platinum member at EzineArticles, but it sure helps since being a Platinum member allows you to submit unlimited number of articles. Also editorial review is much quicker when you are a Platinum member.

So what about results?

I can’t say I saw dramatic results from publishing my articles at EzineArticles. I may not have the sufficient amount of data to pass a judgment. But here are few clues to how effective my approach was.

Link Popularity.

You probably have read that publishing your articles on EzineArticles will increase your websites link popularity, since there will be many publishers who may republish your article on their websites. So far my articles were republished few times, but the sites that picked up my articles either do no have high page rank or are entirely made of ezine articles. I am yet waiting to see any of my articles to be picked up by more reputable website. I have to admit that EzineArticles itself is highly ranked by many search engines, and if nothing else having and incoming link from them may help my websites a little.

Search Engines Indexing.

I definitely noticed some improvement on how my pages are indexed by search engines. I have noticed that Google, Yahoo and MSN, have indexed some of my older pages. I could not understand why these pages were not indexed in the past. Some of the pages were as old as websites themselves, but newer pages would get indexed quicker. I can’t guarantee that this change can be attributed to EzineArticles, but coincidently these “older” pages were indexed by search engines after I started publishing with EzineArticles.

How long does it take to see some real results?

Some people say that it takes about 20 articles before you will notice some real results. It is also have been said that ezine authors with 100 articles and more get the most results. So I guess I still have some ways to go.
